Cain speaks with Asian investment firm in San Francisco

As a new accuser stepped forward in New York Monday to charge him with sexual harassment, Herman Cain was on the other side of the country — preparing to address a conference hosted by an Asia-based investment firm.

Cain was scheduled to speak at the fourth annual CLSA AsiaUSA Forum at The Palace hotel in San Francisco. The event involves “more than 200 CEOS and CFOs” huddling with “500 institutional investors from 14 countries for more than 1,300 hours of presentations, workshops and private meetings,” according to a press announcement.

Readers may recall that CLSA is the same firm that invited Sarah Palin to speak at an investors’ forum in Hong Kong in September of 2009, shortly after she resigned as governor of Alaska.

Mary Beth Kissane, a spokeswoman for CLSA, confirmed that Cain was speaking Monday and explained the decision to host him: “As a respected business man and corporate maverick who has turned companies around, Herman Cain will speak on leadership and the need for innovation and breakthrough ideas to sustain growth and grow markets in the face of U.S. and increasingly global economic turmoil.”

Kisssane noted that former Vice President Dick Cheney is slated to address the forum on Tuesday.

Cain’s first media appearance since accuser Sharon Bialek’s Monday press conference is likely to be a previously announced interview on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” assuming he keeps the appointment. He has not visited any of the early presidential primary states since POLITICO first reported allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Herman "Cornbread" Cain has used his CEO position as a means of having countless affairs on his lovely wife, Gloria, who has endeavored 43 years of a humiliation marriage. Cornbread has always had an eye for women who do not look like Mrs. Cain, and she has made herself invisible throughout his career because Cornbread needed space to play. Hopefully, The Antioch Church is providing her with some support during these undiginified times.
